The HeART of the Matter

While the water laughed all around me…
And the wind opened its mouth to sing this song to me…

Again...



“I was moving backward on a forward highway
Shall I question ...




Again?




If this is what makes me whole?”
That is, for me, the heart of the matter.

This…
This thing, I am tilted toward…




Is it a renaissance?



Regeneration?


Can this phoenix bend the river’s current to what needs fulfillment?
For me, it is the heart of the matter.

Leading a satisfied life is my heart’s dream.
Throughout my soul are songs reaching for what beyond what I settled for.
Suppressing no more as the bough breaks
The matters of the heart, is for me.


No longer fine with regurgitated whine.
A sad, sad song spinning its wheel...
All that it kicked up was dirt…
But going nowhere in so much hurry.


Can I do it?




Will you do it?
Turn on the light!




Banish the shadows, so I can shine.
That is the heart of the matter.

Let me whisper loudly from my heart’s recesses.
I need to walk proudly graced with dignity.
And preserve all the beauty that is going forwardly through the shining waters.
It is I, the heart that matters.
